MONDAY, Dec. 13, 2012 — There are 11-year-olds walking around with the birthday 1/1/1. There are 10-year-olds walking around with the birthday 2/2/2. You get the idea.

Little Emily Grace Fender, born December 12, 2012, at Hillcrest Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, is one of the lucky few with the birthday 12/12/12. But that's it for triple birthdays until the millennium rolls around again in the year 3000.

Emily's mother, Cathy Fender, says she wasn't thinking about the calendar when she went into labor last night. "I just wanted to have the baby," she said.

But she's delighted now to have a "little star." Emily has five older brothers and sisters. The eldest was disappointed her baby sister wasn't born at 12 minutes after midnight.

Emily missed that by just a few minutes, born at 12:25am. But her mother says "that's actually better." She says Emily is her "Christmas baby," so 25 minutes after midnight seems right.
